Your benefits at a glance
- No further costs after evaluation of the tracking devices
- Detailed information about your shipment

This is how easy shipment tracking works
- Status information from Cargo iQ (CiQ, formerly C2K) creates detailed tracking data.
- Tracking made easy: Customer-owned Tracker guideline
- Register your tracking device for use on our aircraft via the IATA ONE Source portal

- Non-intentionally transmitting devices powered by coin cells are per EASA AIR OPS GM1 CAT.GEN.MPA.140 (b) in a switched-off status – and are therefore permitted for use on the Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo fleet without further assessment.
Regulations for trackers with lithium-ion batteries
All tracking devices with lithium-ion batteries must meet the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
A shipment does not have to be declared as a Lithium Battery shipment if each tracker does not exceed 2 batteries or 4 cells, as per Section II regulations. If any tracker in the shipment exceeds these limits, the shipment must be declared as ELI/ELM (Lithium Ion/Lithium Metal) on the Master Air Waybill (MAWB).
A Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) is not required for customer-owned trackers, as long as they comply with the regulations for lithium-ion batteries (not exceeding 0.3 grams of lithium content and 2.7 watt-hours).
